- Growing tomatoes is fun, but the real fun starts once they begin ripening. The colors, shapes, and sizes are what draw so much attention to this amazing vegetable (really a fruit). We even have been working on a cross and are working to stabilize it so we can offer it to tomato enthusiasts around the world!

You’re like the Willy Wonka of gardening, love watching your videos and purchasing seeds from you!
I must admit, I am so jealous of how great your tomatoes are. I just grow whatever the greenhouse here has, but I did get 2 that were about 2 lb. Each. They were my pride and joy. I saved a lot of their seeds.
It did my heart good to see that your romas and pears aren't any bigger than my container grown ones. This is the first year that I've grown my tomatoes in containers and only did romas, pears, and cherry which I don't usually grow.Hubby was expecting the big grocery store variety and was disappointed that they were on the smaller side. I tried to explain to him that those are hybrid varieties and mine are heirloom. I would much rather have the flavor than the size.
jan Penland what size pots did you have success with for your cherry tomatoes?
I have to say this year I'm so grateful for my garden taking me away from all the bad news today and for all the food it produces too.
Would LOVE to see a video on how to make sun-dried tomatoes!!!
Very good suggestion but it's very easy. Google it.
I love your cross tomato! Those things are amazing! Keep up the good work 😉
Would you please do a dedicated video on your staking system and where you got/how you build the stakes and how far you bury them and how far you space them?
Yes please! My heirloom is well over 6 feet, probably closer to 7 and the tomato cage I have it in is just not cutting it anymore.
I grew a German Johnson this year--GIANT--bigger than my hand and so delicious! Can't wait to get your Italian tomato! --Kristy
Oh what I could do with that basket of beautiful tomatos. I was astounded by your hibrids, really interesting and beautiful. I haven't even seen half of them and my envy is showing. Here in jersey we've had so much rain and humidity that bloom drop is rampant. Hopefully I will be able to get at least one of these amazing heirloom tomatos come next spring. Keep up the great gardening, many blessings
Wow! Just wow! What is the name of that pepper-like zebra tomato? Those are very interesting. Trying the Cherokee Purple this year... I have some heirloom Roma's as well, and doing a Celebrity Roma cross... Love your tomato garden.
Amazing tomatoes. Those vines were AMAZING!!
If you ever want to try something new...BakerCreek has a variety in their catalog called Bread & Salt. I grew a 3 pounder last summer. They make the BEST sandwiches. We made Bacon, Basil Leaf, tomato, Avocado and Mozzarella sandwiches regularly with those tomatoes. SO GOOD! So try a bread and salt! You won't be disappointed.
Beautiful tomatoes Luke! Stunning harvest and stunning plants!
What gorgeous tomatoes! So enjoyed the video, what an inspiration! Sun gold is my all-time favorite cherry and I would love to try one of those pineapple-sungolds you grew! Hope you will have some in your seed shop. Thanks for the continued inspiration, Luke!
NICE! I grew purple Cherokee for the first time this year. Love them, blight resistant too.
Thank you for the advice on picking tomatoes I always waited until there was no green and lost a bunch because they got pestified shortly thereafter. Thumbs up this vid!
I really enjoyed your tomato video tour. Fantastic! Thank you for sharing.
Awesome Luke! I love experimenting too! I've watched videos on crossing tomatoes, but would love to see how u do it-I thought it would be hard getting it at right time without flower pollinating itself! Can't wait for the seeds to be available for your crosses!
Tomato recipes videos would be a blessing!! Especially for different types of tomatoes
At 12:58 I peeped out a trouble maker in the background..... a white moth!
Good tomatoes planting , thank you for sharing to us such amazing education .
Hope fun to see! Would you ever consider doing a video on your experimentation in crossing tomato plants?
I hope you will do videos on the various tomato based sauces you mentioned, that would be nice for preservation as well.
Wowzer that cross!😳 those are some giant tomatoes!
Good job. Those are beautiful!!!!
I am growing Moneymaker too, and yes this is one of the most amazing vines I have ever seen and mine is going to look the same :) They grow so fast.
Luke those are some beautiful tomatoes !! JUST Gorgeous!!
Awesome harvest! So many big beautiful tomatoes
Congrats on your wonderful harvest! I'm so excited to pull mine here in a few weeks!
Looks like really nice tomatoes. Got a good harvest of tomatoes this year but next year is going to be even better. Are going to plant outside the greenhouse next year too.
Hey Luke what an incredible tomato havest. I've learned a lot from watching your videos and I just wanna ask this question. If I'm constantly feeding my soil bacteria some molasses, will the plant stop trading their excess sugar to the bacteria in the soil thus letting the plant focus their energy in making the fruits sweeter? I'm not an expert so I need your advice on this one.
This is so interesting to me! Love watching your channel. Thanks for the tips Mr. Luke.
Ok..heading into kitchen now for cottage cheese and tomato snack. 11:40pm...
I noticed that a majority of your foliage had a particular curl to them. Explanation to why?
Your tomato plants look so healthy. Great video.
It would be so helpful if you would say what variety you are showing on your tour. Even when we watch the videos years later, it helps us know what the plants and fruits look like when we want to order the seeds.
Thank-you you answered my ripening inside question
I stored all the unblemished green ones and we were eating tomatoes well into December.
I would love to know how the cross is doing! If you are still growing them to stabilize the genetics etc. I am debating on trying some tomato crossing this year myself!
I want to try it too. I want to cross money maker with Paul Robeson.
Wow. That's a pretty awesome collection of tomatoes. I think its safe to say you have mastered the art of successfully growing a range of tomatoes. Any suggestions or insight regarding "tomato cracking" or disease control?
Great harvest walk through, I'm curious what's your top 10 favorite tomatoes and why?
Man do you got variety, and some Monsters :D
I like the foliage shading less cracking(heat flux).
7:45 shaking your moneymaker
I'd love for you to do a video discussing other grow methods, aquaponics, kratky, aeroponics, hydro, and so on.
I love your harvest Luke :) Do you bother to support your tomatoes on the vine so the stems and branches dont brake? Or do they do just fine without special support? As always thanks for sharing :)
The sucker u pulled out on 3:33 is way to established, wasn't it a good idea to plant it somewhere else ? Or it will not have enough time to produce on its own ?
Cross your sungold x pineapple tomato back to a pineapple mother and a sungold mother! Would love to see the results!! ... keep up the good work ✌🏼
Wow! Do you have any tips for starting a veggie garden in a rental with a small yard? I have made off the ground planter boxes, but I suppose I’m wondering the best plants to grow in smaller spaces and how to get the most out of them? Your channel is very inspiring!
I'm ecstatic to hear I may get a chance to buy olpolka seeds from you in 2018-any idea when launch will be? I would love to see some of your recipes for tomato sauce/pasta sauce etc!
I love harvest videos!
Thanks for your video! I enjoyed it! I am considering single stemming my tomatoes this year...
How is the Opalca/Oxheart cross going?
Everything's looking good Luke! Cheers. Lucas
It seems like every time he says "This video won't be a long one." It is lol
Thanks for the great post.have you or will you make a post about staking and tying tomatoes for new gardeners? Also I notice flowers growing in the tomatoes. Are those companions?and have you made a post about that?
Thanks Luke!
Hi Luke and Cindy, congratulations on such a bountiful harvest. I just came back from Idaho. I noticed that just about every farm practiced crop rotation between potato, corn, and alfalfa. I have not done my research yet, but that what it appeared to be. Any chance of a seed potato drawing?
How is your SMS (social media storm) AKA 87 yr old tomato going and it's 3 babies (plants from side shoots)? What did Sindy think of the taste? I do remember saying you would get her to try it!
Great video! Do you find that the wood stakes work better to support the indeterminate varieties than a traditional tomato cage? I've only used cages and the plants tend to outgrow them by the end of the season.
Completelt impressive!
I love yellow pear! I made some yellow ketchup from some one year. Trying 8 new varieties this year (along with the yellow pear) but the Rutgers keep dying on me. I guess Ontario is too cold and wet in the spring?
ordering seeds from you next winter...........awesome vids and great selection of seeds.......
thanks
Hi Luke. Great video. I remember you saying before that the orange rousolini didn’t have to be staked but here it is. Did you find that it does better that way?
You are the best!
Heck, I say as long as you plant your tomatoes deep and in good compost let the suckers grow. I plant two Beef-master plants each year and I plant them at least a foot deep. By the time they mature they have completely filled my 3 x 12 bed and have reached 7 foot.
Beautiful garden. And I like your strategically placed pungent flowers. Will you eat ALL that arugula?
What about making yellow catsup?
Wow! that's some out of control leaf-curl on those tomato plants. Due to abiotic factors or a virus? Did your tomatoes the next year have that symptom?
Would you consider selling the seeds of some of your best hybrids, after you've stabilized them?
Very impressive harvest, i wish i could have such a healthy tomato garden, unfortuntly i live on a riveride and i got all the pests and diseases present in this world, i only got sucess with disease resistance variety, and not the one i would like to grow healthy. :(
Luke, you are so blessed.
Love you Marlon T-shirt it's Siick!!!
I know the vid is about Heirloom Tomato What I really need to know is Determinate versis Indeterminate because here in Deep East Texas clay and sand can be whole different problem.
I started out with mostly Road base Clay and after raising two horses, hay and feed grains and Plenty of horse ca-ca I discovered while tilling the corral that weeds were Really prolific. After selling the horses and working the soil, composting, growing ground covers and adding several truck loads of Masonry sand (with tiny pebbles,) and "tractor" tilling I have now an excellent lot for gardening. My soil now grows 6 to 7 feet tomatoes and I want to grow all Summer and into Fall.
Amazing variety of tomatoes, thanks!
Truly great tomatoes, you cross bread them. How do you do that ,will the seeds grow as the cross or the parent tomato ?
Wow! Look very nice tomatoes love it.
Luke, do you make your tomatoe sauces from just one or two types of your tomatoes or do you throw some of everything in it? If not, how do you preserve the ones that you do not use in tomatoe sauces etc.
How do you create the hybrids? What did you cross and how? I also noticed that you had some basil next to some of your tomato plants. Does that keep insects away?
Angela Walton-Raji no its a myth sorry
Community plants like marigolds are more likely to keep the insects off the food plants. To hybridize you will plant the tomatoes closer together because there is cross pollination via wind and bees. I have had great hybrids by planting them side by side but to know the hybrid only plant two close together. Nature is Awsome!
My Life it is not a myth.
Then save the seeds. Replant.
Gina Goth ok
Will you be selling seed from the tomato that you crossed? Or, will it not come back the same? I would like to try that one next year.
What about the 87 year old tomato?
Vaughn Malecki
Yeap, i guess here will be an update anytime soon.
Vaughn Malecki I was wondering that too.
I'm really interested in another update on the 87 year old tomato, too. I was so amazed that an 87 year old seed could successfully germinate!
I still haven't seen anything. Wondering if it died.
They all look so awesome :-D
So one tomato seed per square meter will give one vine like that and with proper care give that much tomato fruits on a vine?
I thought you don’t want to save seeds from hybrids on account of you can’t be guaranteed the same results as the initial cross bred variety. Is that just not the case then?
Is that lavender next to the tomato plants? Is that a trick to keep certain pests away from the tomatoes?
so osem luke you have some bountiful tomatoes one of those days iam going to learn to grow tomatoes like you do
The early picking is interesting. I wait till they are as close to perfect as possible and am bummed when my perception is off.
Maybe I should not be so worried and just harvest...any other opinions surely welcome!
This is amazing!! How many tomato plants do you have growing in your raised beds?
Love the chanell
Any changes to your hybrids? Are you close to stabilizing them?
GOOD LOOK'N MATERS!!!
Are those lavender plants in between your beds? If so, do they help with pests?
Never seen an in determinant Roma. What variety tomato is that plant that is shown just past the minute mark of the vid?
I want to see how you make sun dried tomatoes!!
What varieties did you cross? Oxheart and ??? They are interesting......
Can you post some of your tomato sauce recipes?
What do you do your tomatoes are growing so healthy
Weekly, how much calcium should I give a well developed tomato plant that is 6 feet high with a lot of tomatoes and flowers on it?
Nice looking hybrids you created there. Are you going to select and stabilize them?
Mainiac Gardener I think he said he is saving their seeds.
Amazing Harvest! What would you choose as the best flavored tomato for Spaghetti sauce?
So u harvested almost all of the tomatoes before fully ripping?
What eats them if you leave them out? Birds? I had though maybe the chipmunk I see around was doing it? I had to take them in when orange or they would get half eaten last year. Only the Cherry tomatoes seemed to stay safe. Last year I got a plant at the garden center called Old German that produced really gigantic tomatoes. Yellow with salmon colored bottom and stripes. They had a tropical fruit flavor, not really a typical tomato flavor like the Big Boy I also grew.
Luke, I decided to grow some hybrids this year along with blithe heirlooms. Well, as far as the hybrids go (and I’m growing the most popular ones - sweet 100 and sun gold) the flavor is just not there and I’m really disappointed. I think you converted me back to only heirlooms next year 👍🏻
I always have bad luck with sweet 100. Never get many tomatoes. I do love sungold though.
what do you use on your tomatoes just trifecta plus 2 times during the growing season?
Awesome thanks brother
Ohh. So that how the moneymaker tomato plant is supposed to look like... :P hehe.
I have a couple of them. The fruit that is left and did not get destroyed by blossom end rot is about the size of a golf ball and are ripening xD. 2 plants... 4 tomatoes :P haha
Do you have problems with pests or critters?
